Have installed gnome3 on an AWS Ubuntu 24.04 release (along with XRDP and appropriate security rules for the AWS instance) and I am able to remote desktop from a windows machine without any problem.
However, when i do a sudo apt-get update subsequent to this to load, for example, nodejs, i receive the following error:
ubuntu@ip-172-31-33-26:~/dev$ sudo apt-get update

The installation of gnome 3 was done through the following commands
sudo apt install -y xrdp
sudo systemctl enable xrdp
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get install -y gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop
If this type of question would be more appropriate on some other type of platform, please let me know.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
